A Musical image of the trumpets of apocalypse

1 F23 F4 F56 F7 F8

This is the base minor scale for any key where one is the base note of the minor key and the derivatively 8 is the octave minor and  the F's represent the flats

It is an intrinsically natural law of Western music or otherwise known as natural harmonic music

F represents the flats.

The plain numbers are the pure notes of the scale that fit with the minor key

The timing of the flats is always this way in terms of position regardless of the key or tuning

it's a law

Now watch this from our theology of the descent of the Catholic pyramid of the sources of Truth

1. Pagan Rome

F
2. Trinity and incarnation in part 
3. Trinity and incarnation in full, Islam

F
4. Great schism

F
5. Sacred tradition and apostolic succession in part great moral fall of hierarchy
6. Sacred tradition and apostolic succession in full Great heretical rebellion, protestantism

F
7. The great supernatural death of the world: enlightenment deism rationalism French revolution Masons countless worldly philosophies science and psychology... Humanity trying to find the meaning of life without supernatural Revelation and Grace and merely by reason and stoic efforts

F
8. The minor apostasy pagan rome returns in type, godlessness no reason no natural law, atheism relativism hedonism

Now ponder this

Flats are effectively imperfect notes; they don't really fit; they sound off

In this regard, then, we can consider them to be, as it were, notes of discord!!

What is astounding is that each of these notes of discord always precede the source of truth that is attacked in the white keys

That is, When we envision the scale on the piano going from the easiest key of minor which is a minor since in a minor all of the pure notes are white and all of the flat notes all the flats are The Black keys

Hence the flats are, get this, SOURCES OF DISCORD!!!

Now, noting that the process of attack does not begin with pagan Rome but only right after pagan Rome when there are sources to attack

We re-number the process with pagan Rome as 0 and the minor apostasy as 7 which again is really modulo 7 for the entire scale

0.  Pagan Rome

F: Source of discord: Trinity and incarnation
1. Trinity and incarnation in part 
2. Trinity and incarnation in full, Islam

F: Source of discord: the petrine see, supreme apostolic successor
3. Supreme apostolic successor in full, Great schism

F: Source of discord: general apostolic succession and sacred tradition
4.  Sacred tradition and apostolic succession in part, great moral fall of hierarchy
5. Sacred tradition and apostolic succession in full, Great heretical rebellion, Protestantism

F: Source of discord: scripture and all divine revelation
6.  Scripture and all divine revelation: The great supernatural death of the world: enlightenment deism rationalism French revolution Masons countless worldly philosophies science and psychology... Humanity trying to find the meaning of life without supernatural Revelation and Grace and merely by natural means or reason and stoic efforts

F: Source of discord, reason
7. Reason, The minor apostasy, pagan rome returns in type, godlessness, no reason no natural law, atheism relativism hedonism

Now in modular 7, 7 is actually the Octave of zero

So that the parallel of pagan Rome to modern civilization,  the 20th century, the minor apostasy, are like the same note, only one great scale separating them

Meaning the world started out in full darkness with pagan Rome and in the history of the church until now, it has returned to the same position, which is full darkness in the European civilization, godlessness

It has come full circle like the Octave

Now ponder this

Here are seven total notes and it is a musical scale, a minor scale, a sad scale, but ascending

This is exactly what is happening in the history of the Catholic Church

How? Because what is happening is, on the one hand, the church is ascending the mountain of knowledge of God as her doctrine develops.

Meaning that her depth and intimacy of God in terms of the truth is growing upward.

More explicit, more deep, more understood

Again ascending a mountain of Truth and mystery

But it is a sad scale, because at each juncture of working out the source of Truth,  the world attacks her at these phases through, again, schisms heresies infidelity apostasy etc

Finally, once we have the developed the theology of the trumpets, which are seven,

And which are therefore images of music since trumpets are musical

In light of this, the trumpets therefore have vivid imagery perfectly fitting Catholic theology of what is happening in an ecclesiological and mystical theological sense of all this history based on analogies that will come from the gospels and elsewhere

In the next series we will develop this theology of the trumpets
